I applaud the 2008 San Joaquin County Fair and its showcase of student agriculture. This year's 4H, FFA and independent presenters were well-informed and equipped with the knowledge and skills to share their projects with the public.

I applaud the 2008 San Joaquin County Fair and its showcase of student agriculture. This year's 4H, FFA and independent presenters were well-informed and equipped with the knowledge and skills to share their projects with the public.

This next generation of our Valley's agricultural businesspeople is a shining example of the value of extended education supported by family values. These upcoming farmers and ranchers received steadfast assistance and guidance from family members and advisers.

Also, barn management, volunteers, fair staff and Friends of the San Joaquin Fair are a model of support, which significantly contributed to the success of this event.

I've lived in Stockton for 15 years. I am going to walk in the San Antonio Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon on Nov. 16 in Texas in honor of my wife, Teresa Gandolfo, who has spent six years fighting Crohn's disease and colitis.

As a member of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation's Team Challenge Program, I am also committed to raising $10,000 for the foundation's Northern California Chapter by Nov. 1.

Please help us support this cause.

Tax-deductible checks payable to The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation may be sent to Ron and Teresa Gandolfo, 5914 Riverbank Circle, Stockton, CA 95219.
